Me and Iggy were giggin’ with ZiggyAnd kickin’ with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin’ with feverAnd let the silver bullets flyThe kid was in his crib, Shady wore a bibAnd the posse wasn’t even alive
Shock rock, choppin’ block, songs that make your heart stopShove it into overdrivePlay it loud and fast, make the guitar blastPlay it like today will be your last
Well I was born there, probably die there with all my long hairDetroit CityYou feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete, dance the mean streetsDetroit City
There’s a riot raging downtown, trying to burn the place downThe sky is growing red and grayBut the Riff kept a rockin’ and the creem kept a talkin’
And the street’s still smoking todayPlay it loud and fast, make the guitar blastPlay it like today will be your last
Well I was born there, probably die there with all my long hairDetroit CityYou feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete, dance the mean streetsDetroit City
6 mile, 7 mile, 8 mile, 9 mile 10 mile, 11 mileDetroit CityLouder, faster, louderDetroit CityWell I was born there, probably die there with all my long hair
Detroit CityYou feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete, dance the mean streetsDetroit CityWell I was born there, probably die there with all my long hair
Detroit CityYou feel your heart beat, you hit the concrete, dance the mean streetsDetroit City

Love Should Never Feel Like This

Someone told me love’s a beautiful thingAnd when I found it all the bells would just ringThe sun would shine and all the birds would singThen I met
youI searched the planet for the magical girlI walked a million miles all over the worldI found the oysters but never the pearlThen I met youI can’t
eat, I can’t sleep, I feel sick, I’m so weakLove should never feel like thisI must be doing something wrongI’ve never felt this way beforeWalk in
the bathroom and I take a deep breathLook in the mirror and it scares me to deathLook like a junkie who’s been strung out on methSince I met youI can’t
eat, I can’t sleep, I feel sick, I’m so weakLove should never feel like thisI must be doing something wrongI’ve never felt this way beforeLove
should never feel like thisI must be doing something wrongI’ve never felt this way before, oh noIgnorance was always blissLove should never feel like thisLove should never ever feel like thisI’ve never felt this way beforeI must be doing something wrongNo love should ever ever feel like thisI must be doing
something wrongI’ve never ever felt this way beforeWHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?

Novocaine

When I was 10 fell out of bed, got 3 stitches in my headIt hurt like hell, I saw the blood, I felt the painI’d like to feel it once again cuz I don’t
feel itThen I got stung right on the faceI screamed and ran around the placeIt hurt like hell, it swoll right upI burned for daysI’d like to feel it
once again´Cause when you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss meI don’t feel anythingWhen you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss meIt’s
just like novocaineI remember every cut and scrapI’ve been numb so longSomething’s wrong so I take anythingI slap my face, I pull me hairJust to
see if something’s thereIt should hurt like hellI miss the pinch, I miss the painThat sharp sensation in my brain´Cause when you touch me, when you hold me,
when you kiss meI don’t feel anythingWhen you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss meI don’t feel itWhen you touch me, when you hold me, when you
kiss meI don’t feel itWhen you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss meIt’s just like novocaineI don’t feel anythingI don’t feel

Be With You Awhile

I wish I could tell you something you didn’t knowI wish I could give you something you didn’t ownI wish I could tell you a joke to make you
smileAnd I could be with you awhile

Just want to be someone you weren’t looking forSome nameless fascination that showed up at your doorAnd when
you’re sad and blue my jokes still make you smileAnd I could be with you awhile

Just want to take you somewhere you haven’t beenFind an old time movie
where we don’t know the endLost in the radio, drive another mileSo I could be with you awhile

Just want to be someone you weren’t looking forSome
nameless fascination that showed up at your doorAnd when you’re sad and blue my jokes still make you smileAnd I could be with you awhile

Tired of serious
conversationTangled up in situationsI feel so free ´cause you want nothing from meI just want to be someone you weren’t looking forSome hopeless vagabond
asleep there on your floorAnd when you’re old and gray my jokes still make you smileAnd I could be with you awhileI just want to be someone you weren’t
looking forSome nameless fascination that showed up at your doorAnd when you’re sad and blue my jokes still make you smileAnd I could be with you awhile

I just want to be with you awhileI just want to be with you awhileI just want to be with you …

Between High School & Old School

Hey, I guess I’m a lonerI don’t fit in, noI ain’t too comfortable in my skin, ohAnd I don’t play well with the othersI’m stuck somewhere between Highschool and old schoolI can’t decide between my rules and your rulesNobody wants me hangin’ ´roundUnless it’s
from a tree in the middle of the townAnd I’m out of step with the othersI’m stuck somewhere between Highschool and old schoolI can’t decide between my
rules and your rulesI’m stuck somewhere between Highschool and old schoolSo I defy maybe all rulesMaybe no rulesMy clothes don’t make meMy hair
ain’t cut rightAnd I don’t care muchNo I don’t care at allI guess my brain is out of syncI think I’m stuck somewhere between Highschool and
old schoolI can’t decide between my rules and your rulesI’m stuck somewhere between Highschool and old schoolI can’t decide, I just can’t decide

This House Is Haunted

I was sitting in my room, dark and gray and cryingSomeone in my life I fear was at the point of dyingA cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of
dawnA little voice went deep inside, told me she was goneOh, this house is hauntedOh, that’s how I want it to beOh, this house is hauntedYou can always
stay here with meNo more singingNo more laughingNo more sunny daysShe left and took the colors with herBuried in her grave, this is where we climbed the
towerThis is where she fellAnd where her young heart stopped beating I went to hellOh, this house is hauntedOh, oh, oh, this house is hauntedOh, oh, you
float through the living roomI watch my TVI feel you sit down on the couchRight here next to meThen I feel your lips touch mineJust like we used to doI’m so happy all aloneBeing here with you

The Song That Didn’t Rhyme

Wrote a song, it was wrong from its very first conceptionSeemed I struggled on every lineIt wasn’t fast, wasn’t prettyWasn’t serious or
wittyThe song that didn’t rhymeThe band couldn’t wing itThe singer couldn’t sing itThe drummer’s always out of timeThe DJ’s
were offendedMy union card suspendedBillboard declared it a crimeThe melody blows in a key that no one can findThe lyrics don’t flowBut I can’t
get it out of my mindA three minute waste of your time on the song that didn’t rhymeIt was bland, it was boringAll the groupies they were snoringThe first
time we played it liveAll the record guys got firedThe president retiredBut somehow the song survivedThe melody blows in a key that no one can findThe lyrics
don’t flowBut I can’t get it out of my mindA three minute waste of your timeNo redeeming value of any kindBut thanks for the $12,99 on the songs that
didn’t rhyme

Breaking a circle into an
arc is easy, but converting an arc back into a circle is a different matter, a task that Alice Cooper has succeeded in doing with the release of ”The Eyes Of Alice Cooper”. Produced
by Andrew Murdock (Godsmack, Powerman 5000), some may say this album is a return to Alice’s roots but indeed it is a conscious effort to capture the rock and roll sound that stirred and excited
the minds, souls and spirit of a generation now past. Simple, uncluttered and direct is The Eyes Of Alice Cooper. Recorded in a minimalist studio setting, unpretentious and live -- All
instruments were recorded at the same time with very little multi-tracking. Each guitar player was given only one extra track for overdubs. A few keyboard, synth and horn touches were added to
some cuts as needed. In addition, Alice Cooper’s longtime producer/collaborator Bob Ezrin also chipped in on the back end.

The songs are classic Alice Cooper, featuring his
trademark clever lyrics as in “The Song That Didn’t Rhyme” and ”Novocain” as always, infectious melodies, hooks and a wall of guitars. All songs were co-written by Alice
with guitarists Eric Dover and Ryan Roxie. Special guests include Legendary MC5 Guitarist Wayne Kramer who added his uncompromising garage rock sound to ”DETROIT CITY”.
